I think folks need to be reminded of this on these types of lists, as
the written word comes without the body language and verbal inflection
so essential to communication.  It is easy to misinterprete.  Many of us
like to get out this box and into the "real" world as quickly as
possible, so it comes down to leaving out details that could further
clarify the point.  You did a nice job in supporting yours here (but I'm
sure you would rather have spent the time elsewhere).

Please take to him and his family my sympathy.
